At this point, leopard print has become a mainstay in our wardrobes, but that doesn't mean it can't get a bit of a makeover with the arrival of a new season. In light of Summer weather, we're embracing leopard print with a breezier tilt — just the way this styled celebrity trio is wearing it. In cool printed pants Beyoncé gives the exotic print a decidedly easy feel, while Ashley Madekwe injects her seasonal ensemble with an animal-printed accent piece via her Mulberry bag; and Krysten Ritter shows us just how sweet the pattern can feel on a '90s-style babydoll frock that's perfect for everyday. In any case, the key is relaxed silhouettes and lighter fabrics that deliver a cool-girl punch of print without overpowering your look. Loving the look?

The Snow White and the Huntsman promotions continued in Mexico City over the weekend and this time around, Kristen Stewart dressed up her feet in a pair of hot neon-yellow Christian Louboutin transparent pumps ($795)! We're not used to seeing the actress in high heels since she usually prefers sneakers, like the red Converse she wore in Madrid, so it's nice to see her fancy feet for a change. Completing her look were a white cropped sleeveless Marios Schwab blouse, gray Vivienne Westwood trousers, a matching BaubleBar neon-yellow bracelet, and an Anita Ko gold spike bracelet.
